Soft cover. Etat : Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2013. x, 234pp. B&W and colour illustrations. "Kirkwall's magnificent St. Magnus Cathedral, the unique, Viking-founded, red-sandstone edifice admired around the world, might have become a crumbling ruin were it not for a highly eccentric Victorian named Sheriff George H. M. Thoms. On his death in 1903, the news that he had left a massive fortune to fund a total restoration was met with surprised delight, but this soon turned to anxiety when his disappointed relatives contested the Will on the grounds of insanity.The ensuing court case caused a national sensation and revealed Thoms' peculiar bachelor existence. He had served champagne-and-laxative cocktails, worn rubber-sided waistcoats for laughter and flirtation, imagined himself a Highland Chief called "Ye MacComish," and fined his cat.All this while he had sat in public judgment as Sheriff of Caithness, Orkney, and Shetland." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean. N° de réf. du vendeur Orkney089
